Pikkie Visser, a local biker, was pleasantly surprised when he finally found a Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) truck in Trezona Avenue yesterday, with workers about to fix the potholes.

Visser said he went there yesterday (13 February) at about 5pm to see if the pothole – in which he had put a tyre painted white and property signage to warn motorists – had been fixed yet. When he found it untouched he drove up the road to Hoërskool Bastion to see if the other potholes had been fixed. When he returned to the ‘tyre pothole’ he found that a JRA team had just arrived. The workers told him that they had been sent to fix the road.

Visser has been expressing concerns to the Record about the dangerous potholes in the road since last year. He was not getting any joy from the authorities despite reporting the pothole on numerous occasions, especially as it had already caused two accidents.
“Now the community can see that the biker community does care,” said Visser.
